Corporate fundraising lead jobs

Z2K has a clear 2025–2030 strategy and a strong reputation for principled, evidence‑led campaigning rooted in frontline experience. The external environment is volatile: rising poverty, political contestation around welfare and housing, and tightening funding conditions.

After a long‑standing Chief Executive stepped down in late 2025, the organisation has been led by an Interim Chief Executive. The permanent appointment is therefore a moment of consolidation and renewal. The next Chief Executive will provide long‑term stability, sharpen strategic focus and define the organisation’s next phase.

Z2K faces structural pressures common to many charities of this scale: rising costs, reliance on grant funding, growing demand and increasing scrutiny. The Chief Executive must do two things at once:

• Increase measurable impact of our advice services and advocacy work on inadequate incomes and high costs.

• Build a financially resilient, well‑run organisation capable of sustaining that impact.

This is not a figurehead role. It requires leadership with grip, political judgement and commercial realism.

Our Senior Trusts & Foundations Manager is primarily responsible for managing and generating income from our Trusts & Foundations portfolio (including Corporate Foundations). They identify new prospects, write compelling and persuasive proposals to secure significant gifts, actively develop relationships with key internal and external stakeholders and provide brilliant stewardship.

We are looking for someone who has a sound understanding of T&F fundraising. You’ll have a strong track record of nurturing relationships, securing multi-year and five-figure+ gifts, and a genuine passion for youth development. You are a creative problem solver with the ability to work independently and take ownership of projects – ensuring they run smoothly and effectively.

The Charity for Civil Servants sits at the heart of the UK Civil Service. While we can’t always prevent the tricky, stressful, sad stuff from happening, when it does happen, we help current, former and retired civil servants get the best support.

We’re 140 years old in 2026 and we’ve got big ambitions to ensure we are there for those who need us for generations to come.

We are looking for an organised and personable Partnerships and High Value Coordinator to join our Community Fundraising Team. Focussed on maximising high value partnership opportunities, this is an exciting opportunity for a confident relationship-builder with a passion for purpose-led partnerships to join the Charity at a pivotal time.

Working closely with the Partnerships & High Value Manager, you will support the coordination and management of high value giving opportunities, including corporate partnerships and grants. You will take a collaborative approach to growing our high value partnerships programme, delivering excellent account management and stewardship, nurturing meaningful relationships, deepening engagement and developing insight-led, impact-driven partnership propositions.

Creative, ambitious, self-motivated, driven to make a genuine impact, eager to further develop their fundraising skills – if this is you, then we would like to hear from you! Ideally, you’ll have experience in a partnerships or high net worth team within a charity too.

In return, we can offer you a supportive, inspiring and friendly team culture and excellent benefits including a health cash plan, excellent pension, generous annual leave and birthday leave, as well as high street discounts, Boundless membership, Headspace subscription, life assurance and a cycle to work scheme.

To apply, please submit your CV and a covering letter that states why you would be suitable for this role. The closing date for applications is 1 March 2026, 11:59pm. Please note that the vacancy may close early if we receive a good volume of suitable applications.

First interviews will take place on 10 March 2026. Please let us know in your covering letter if this date would be difficult for you. If you need any adjustments to enable you to perform to your best at interview, please let us know in your application.

The Charity for Civil Servants are committed to building and developing a workforce which reflects the diversity of the civil service community that we support. We seek to ensure all job applications are treated fairly, with respect and without bias and we encourage applications from suitably experienced candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or belief, or any other factor.

Stormbreak is a national, dynamic and ambitious charity, established in 2019 and led by a dedicated and expert team, all highly experienced and proficient in their respective areas and all very supportive of fundraising efforts.

The world is changing, and so is the way people engage with causes they care about. We are now looking to grow and diversify our individual giving, building long-term relationships with supporters who share our commitment to the welfare of greyhounds. This is your chance to play a key role in shaping our strategy, delivering creative campaigns, and helping secure the financial foundation for the Trust’s future.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Income Generation and Engagement, you will be responsible for:

• Creating, delivering, and evaluating a long-term Individual Giving strategy.

• Building a diverse and sustainable portfolio of individual giving income streams, including regular giving, appeals, digital fundraising, mid-level giving, and legacy gifts.

• Planning and delivering multi-channel campaigns that integrate with marketing, communications, and retail initiatives.

• Using data and insight to drive performance, monitor results, and develop strong cases for support.

• Supporting branches and volunteers in delivering individual giving initiatives.

• Developing supporter journeys that encourage loyalty, growth, and long-term engagement.

• Ensuring all activities comply with fundraising legislation, best practice, and data protection law.

This is a hands-on, strategic role that will allow you to take ownership of your programme while collaborating across the Trust to deliver impactful campaigns and initiatives.

Is this role right for you?

This role will suit you if you are an ambitious, hands-on fundraiser who thrives in a small, collaborative teamwhere everyone is invested in the success of the whole organisation. You enjoy taking ownership, sharing ideas, and seeing things through to delivery, and you value open communication, mutual support, and a culture where colleagues are trusted to innovate and experiment.

You are likely to thrive if you enjoy balancing independent responsibility with teamwork, and if you are motivated by making a tangible difference rather than simply delivering outputs. You are curious, thoughtful, and practical, and you are happy to contribute beyond your immediate remit to help the organisation succeed.

If you are looking for a role where collaboration, accountability, and purpose genuinely shape the way the organisation works day to day — and where your work will have a visible impact on the lives of greyhounds and the supporters who make that possible — this could be a very good fit.

Why join us?

• Be part of a compact, passionate, and close-knit team.

• Lead the development of a dedicated individual giving programme.

• Work in a medium-sized, agile charity with a strong sense of purpose and financial stability.

• Play a key role in growing support and enabling more greyhounds to be cared for and homed across the UK.
